Thirteen Grave Mistakes,

To yield to immatcrial trines.
10 look for perfection in our own actions.
10 endeavor to mold all dispositions
alike.
10 expect uniformity of opinion in this
world
TO expect to be able to understand eyerv
thing. ''S
TO look for judgment and experience i'm
youth
To measure the enjoyment of Others by
our own.
TO believe only what our finite minds,
can grasp.
Not to make allowances Tor the inlirmi-
lies of others.
20 worry ourselves and others with what
cannot be rcmedied.
10 consider everything impossible that
we cannot perform.
Not 10 alleviate all that needs alienation,
as far as lies in our power
10 set up our own standard of right and
wrong and Judge people accordingly

THERE seems to be no falling of i'll
the horrors of tenement life in some OF
the Northern cities. Last week there
were l,l36 deaths in the city of New
York, in six days more than half of
them children and most of the children
being less than five years old. On Sun.
day of last week the deaths were 256-
100 of these being of children il the
tenement districts, who died in dark,
greasy, foul-smelling rooms ON upper
floors, where the heat was sitting and
all the air was tainted. Surely there is
room for the exercise of practical phil
anthropy in some organized effort to
alleviate such suffering as these figures
so sadly portray,
